Looks like the tide is shifting from the strong “engineering” stance (We will design it friendly.) through the “philosophical” approach (There are good reasons to be friendly.)… towards the inevitable resignation (Please, be friendly).
These “firendly AI” debates are not dissimilar to the medieval monks violently arguing about the number of angels on a needletip (or their “friendliness”—there are fallen “singletons” too). They also started strongly (Our GOD rules.) through philosophical (There are good reasons for God.) up to nowadays resignation (Please, do not forget our god or… we’ll have no jobs.)
I think a lot of people are still working on other aspects of AI safety, like value alignment and containment. This approach is just the last line of defence.
Thanks! It is nice that we come to the wording “young AI” more or less independently. I tried to maximally stealmanning this approach and collect all ideas about messaging to the future AI. I will add your post in the bibliographic section.
